Taxi drivers in Lincolnshire have been warned they must take an English test, even if they are native speakers, or face losing their driving licences.
South Kesteven District Council introduced the rule in August after it received complaints from passengers about the 'level of English spoken by drivers'.
Originally, the rule only applied to new taxi drivers, but now existing taxi drivers have been told they will need to take a test costing £46.50, unless they can prove they have the appropriate qualifications.
